We are pleased to announce that fAibrik is among the 400 French startups listed in the Mapping Retail 2025, the first comprehensive mapping of retail startups in France, created by France Digitale and FDJ UNITED Ventures.

A thriving French retail ecosystem

Unveiled at the Tech for Retail trade show in November 2025, this retail mapping highlights the exceptional vitality of French innovation in the commerce sector. The numbers speak for themselves:

  • over €7 billion raised since their inception,
  • 35'000 jobs created,
  • and a combined turnover exceeding €1 billion in 2024.

This recognition reflects the dynamism of an ecosystem that innovates across the entire retail value chain, from physical stores to e-commerce, meeting the concrete needs of both consumers and professionals.

AI: The driving force behind retail transformation

The Mapping Retail 2025 reveals a key trend: artificial intelligence is becoming indispensable in the sector. Over 65% of startups founded in the last three years integrate AI into their value proposition. It powers every link in the chain: customer research, marketing, supply chain, merchandising, pricing, customer service, and in-store operations. At fAibrik, we have been part of this revolution for 7 years by developing a solution that places artificial intelligence at the heart of the retail and e-commerce experience.

A promising maturity

Beyond technological innovations, the retail mapping underscores the robustness of the French ecosystem.

  • 40% of startups have achieved profitability.
  • 20% are in the internationalization phase.
  • An additional 45% are considered scale-ups.

Tomorrow’s challenges

  • international expansion,
  • visibility,
  • acquiring new customers,
  • and partnerships with major corporations.
